We recently got married in our favorite city, Seattle despite both being from and living on the East Coast. After some frustration trying to find an affordable, professional DJ long distance, we simply googled "Best Seattle DJs" and found Seattle Parties. Everyone we spoke with was helpful and accommodating, and we were set up with DJ Sean, who began gathering information about the venue we never would have thought to think of. His dedication to making sure everything was perfect was evident, and he had luckily worked the venue we were using before, so what information we didn't figure out from home, he did.
The website Seattle Parties was surprisingly comprehensive and intuitive. We were able to painlessly provide our entire evening's timeline, and make special request notes on just about everything. We picked out our songs for special events, and then went about putting together a playlist of requests we wanted throughout the evening. Almost all of the music we wanted was already in their system, and those that weren't we were able to easily special request. Every song we added could be assigned to a specific event or time, and I was able to add special notes, all of which were taken into account.
On the day of our wedding, DJ Sean was awesome. The music for the ceremony was timed and amplified perfectly, despite being outside. When one of my groomsmen fainted (he's 12) Sean assisted in his recovery behind the scenes, while seamlessly making sure the music went on when our ceremony resumed a few minutes later. Everything from our arrival at the reception, to toasts and other events were announced perfectly. One of my biggest stressors in wedding planning was finding a DJ with the right personality, and DJ Sean had it. He obliged my unorthodox requests, and when my wife decided she wanted more of the "classics" played after dinner (to get parents dancing), he did an excellent job with that as well. In case this doesn't go without saying, his attire, communication with the bride and I, and set-up were all very professional. It was somewhat nerve-racking planning a wedding from across the country (without a wedding planner), but Sean helped make everything perfect.
I would recommend Seattle Parties to anyone looking for a DJ. When we initially contacted them, it was just to get ask a few questions. Without giving us a sales pitch or making us feel pressured, we were able to discuss our needs with them and immediately felt much better about our wedding planning. read more
